On Wednesday night the South Australian Music Awards celebrated all the wonderful talent that our state has to offer.

Previously known as the Fowler's Live Music Awards, this year was a huge success. Music SA general manager Lisa Bishop said “We are so proud to recognise and celebrate the wealth of talent we have in South Australia, and are overwhelmed with how many people joined us for the festivities.” Things can only get bigger and better from here, and SA's talent is sure to keep growing too.

Tkay Maidza and Timberwolf (Chris Panousakis) both won big, and it was certainly well deserved. Tkay was crowned with four awards, including Best Female and Best Release, while Timberwolf took home a respectable two: Best Male and APRA AMCOS Best Songwriter.

Meanwhile, Adelaide's footy/rock legends Bad//Dreems took home the award for best live act, and The Gov took out best music venue for what seems like the 20th time in a row (for good reason).
